Edison Regional Gifted Center DID NOT CLOSE!  We've simply moved to a better location with a gorgeous new facility.  From where I see you have a child who attends Edison Elementry, the school that has replaced mine, it might just be me speaking but I'm pretty sure the only reason you gave us 5 stars is because you have your neighborhood school kids to come in and replace it.  Of course I believe our wonderful should be given a full 5 star rating, but I would also like to have people looking for schools recieve a rating about our school informing them about our wonderful program, not advertising different ones. So now I'm here to tell parents, as well as children what a wonderful program EDISON REGIONAL GIFTED CENTER is.
      I simply love Edison!!! It's like a second family.  The teachers and principles are all splendid and well educated.  Everyone is very kind and we have disipline as well as some fun!  It's a perfect school, in my terms!
